Founded by the controversial Emperor Nicovar many years ago, ANCFOTA is Holberg's eccentric, but academically sound college for mages and medics. Unlike Holberg University, this specialist academy has a strong bias towards the study of ritual magic. But it is also home to a thriving and innovatively hands-on medical department. It even has its own mortuary (in a siege, these things become a necessity.)

Its Extracurricular Holberg Defence Force regularly sends a company to the Wolves of War. Professor Evander "no longer currently a sorcerer" Slak is college Chaplain; Anika von Holberg is Dean; Professor Beatrix Amalia von Holfried zu Holberg is Head of Healing Arts.

The college motto is "The Truth Endures". Its crest is a phoenix emerging from a burning tower. Make of that what you will.
